Life in a Purple Martin nest: 2019 nestcam recap
Watch as a nest of Purple Martins at the Purple Martin Conservation Association headquarters in Erie, PA progresses from eggs to fledglings.
Purple Martins are completely reliant on humans to survive. Learn how you can help at http://www.purplemartin.org/how-to-help/
2019 was a great year for our livestream nest, but not without drama. As you see in the video, we encountered a "capped egg", subadult martins causing problems, a nestling whose airway was blocked by a large dragonfly, a near miss by a hungry Cooper's Hawk, and a House Wren intent on pecking the nestlings. Such is life for the Purple Martin, a struggle to survive in the face of habitat loss, predators, and competition.
Incredibly these parents (nicknamed Carl and Jolene) successfully raised and fledged seven birds...the highest number we've witnessed.
Songs used in listening order:
